Yes

I don’t think so. I want to support the local businesses as long as they are open.

Will the option of being vaccinated privately ever happen? The rumour that you’ll not be able to go into pubs and restaurants unless you can prove you are negative is still going around.Could be a canny money spinner for people with money who are desperate to have a sesh in their local.

TBF there’s a difference between going to Home Bargains for a new Live, Laugh, Love sign for the front room and getting essential stuff sorted for your new house. But don’t dare try to fool any of us that you have a clue about DIY.

Not even if I wanted to

I had to go B&Q yesterday for a new seat for the Thunderbox. 
 

It’s a soft-release one. 
 

 

I shit thee not.

All London primary schools are now staying closed, because no one could have anticipated a U-turn from this normally so decisive government

Get on a veggie diet and every single one is a soft release.

Like caressing a turd of silk down to a watery grave.

Take your rabbit food and shove it up your silk gland.

I couldn’t handle veganism during lockdown, but I’d done a solid 18 month before that.

Honestly, having a shite was a pleasure.

So schools are apparently safe, apart from if you ask SAGE, who say they aren’t. Marr can’t seem to summon the will to challenge Johnson, which is par for the course...Johnson can’t give out figures for those who have received the vaccine either....

The bairns primary school has just announced it is going against government guidance and closing to all but key worker children. They've also decided to shut tomorrow completely until they can decide how it's going to work, giving me 1/2 a day to find childcare tomorrow. If all the primary schools go this route then the government is going to have a choice to make ....

 

It feels like we are in similar territory to the USA where the government has been so poor, for so long it's just met with a shrug of the shoulders and an eye roll when stuff like this happens. Previous governments have been voted out of power for lesser fuck ups than this

Feels like they are delaying the inevitable at this rate having watched Johnson on Marr earlier - just as they did during the first wave. Reactive dithering instead of taking decisive action. I don’t envy any word leader trying to get the timing right on calling a national lockdown but few have called it as poorly as our lot. Johnson said stronger measures will be needed. Why not take them now if that’s the case? 

[PaddockLad 17693]

If,heaven forbid, this afternoon’s figures show a large increase on yesterday, we might even see a u turn on schools by tea time tonight?

 

 

[Monkeys Fist 43108]

Aye, that would fit their M.O. - rather than give the schools and parents time to organise their shit, they’ll leave it until the very last minute, and then issue half-arsed instructions anyway. 
As KD said earlier, previous governments have been fucking crucified over far less serious fuck-ups than this Old School Ties club.

Johnson could detonate a biological weapon in the middle of Trafalgar Square and wipe out most of the population, and I still reckon 40% of the survivors would vote Conservative.

[NJS 4411]

Johnson is that much of a narcissist he just won't do anything he thinks is unpopular until there's no other choice. 

 

Thing is they must know there's large scale support for stricter measures so it must be the tory lockdown wingnuts he's scared of upsetting.

Was the worst Johnson interview I've seen, and that's saying something. He appeared off his tits and wasn't making sense. By the end of it, when he claimed we can all benefit from the freedom Brexit has given us, when in fact he's literally taken away mine and my family's freedom, I just had one thought. That was, I wish coronavirus had killed you, you cunt. Too harsh? I have never hated a person more than this idiot who is destroying the country. Call me a patriot. 

[ewerk 31222]

Aye, it was pretty much gibberish and he just waffled on when Marr tried to get a question in. 
 

‘What can we do now that we couldn’t do before Brexit?’

’Err, freeports’

’But the EU already have them?’

’But ours will be better’

’So what else?’

‘Well we stopped pulse fishing’

’France are doing that too’

’But we’re doing it faster’

Marr’s next question should have been ‘but if Brexit is so good then why are you having to make these things up?’ But of course it wasn’t.

[Renton 22007]

Johnson gibbered over Marr as usual but I sensed Marr was pissed with him. Marr's final comment was intriguing, the Implication was Marr supports Scottish independence. Wheels are now in motion that can't be stopped imo, this idiot will split the union in three. 

[Kid Dynamite 7182]

The whole interview was shit tbh. Marr just talked over the top of Boris and Boris just waffled and blustered his way through as usual

[Tom 14013]

Marr is a colossal bellend.

I fucking hate Marr

[Rayvin 5304]

Which side of all of this is Starmer on btw? He's been pretty firmly pro-return to school so far.

 

This makes me nervous, because if both Johnson and Starmer are on relatively the same footing, could it be that they're right?

[PaddockLad 17693]

No mention of of schools as such....

 

 

[NJS 4411]

He's said they should be the last thing to close which I sort of agree with him on but he has called for a stricter national lockdown as soon as possible.
